Creating a STELLA Software Model to Simulate Nitrogen Removal during the Wastewater Treatment Process
In an effort to describe and understand the function and efficiency of nitrogen removal through wastewater treatment process, I created a mathematical model using the STELLA software system. The model can be modified to test the efficiency of various nitrogen removal technologies including ammonia stripping, ion exchange, and biological nutrient removal. It is very important and cost efficient to simulate a procedure through software to predict outcomes and improve processes of the procedure and find out what could be done to improve the process.
